A woman in orange robes and a long gold necklace sits on a patterned carpet, while a man in a white shirt and dark trousers leans forward to apply a mark on her forehead, and a seated figure in orange-red cloth sits behind them.

A brass lamp and a small offering bowl sit near the seated figures, and a framed image of a Himalayan mountain hangs on the right. Four or five people are visible.
